We performed a comparison between Oracle HCM Cloud and PeopleSoft based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Oracle HCM Cloud is the winner in this comparison. Compared with PeopleSoft, It is the more modernized and user-friendly solution.
"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
"I think that it's stable. I don't believe that there are any issues."
"Oracle HCM has a great reporting platform, OTPI, with drag-and-drop functionality. I can design my own reports without relying on the technical team. This empowers HR users to create reports based on their needs, which is a huge advantage."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is easier to use than Oracle ETS. Everything is included on one page, and we no longer need to do workarounds. For example, creating elements, eligibility profiles, and formulas is much easier."
"It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime."
"I like the interfaces, and they are fine. I would like to see more interfaces."
"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"Scales up very well."
"I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is."
"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations."
"The user interface, as well as the interfaces between modules, should definitely be enhanced."
"The product is comparably complex to install and deploy properly."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"In the next release, I would like to see a new recruitments module. I would like to see the preboarding so that it sends out integrations through personal email. That would be very useful."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
"Scalability is not there in PeopleSoft. Its performance and resilience are also very bad. When you're trying to stretch it, it breaks. It is not resilient. It is also not stable. It is stable as far as data is concerned, but the infrastructure is not stable."
"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward."
"I would like to see improvement in the UI."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
